update after 5 months diagnosis of ET

[Maxpenny]

I remember writing here as I took my first hydryea tablet early October 2023 and the fear I felt. This forum has been such a help to me. I am now on 500mg every day and yesterday my platelets were down to 342 I am so pleased. That is the last 2 blood tests that have shown a decrease and all the other figures are good. Thanks to all who gave me support as I definitely neeed it.🤣🤣🤣

Glad to hear the platelets are down for you too.I remember you posting as you started treatment in the October like me.It's positive that the forum has kept me sane when you want to spiral because you've been googling.

Keep posting as your results.
